The "far right": "Jews will not replace us."
The "far left": "Everyone deserves health care."
Centrists: "These, to me, are the same."
Had a lot of fun going on Winthrop community access TV to talk about the ballot questions!

This is a coup attempt. They’re turning off traffic lights and canceling bus routes and flights and ferries on election day. The world needs to be paying attention
I think of this every time Question 3 supporters say Question 3 is a solution to our lack of contested State House races. Nothing in Q3 helps change a one-candidate race to a two-candidate race, but it does make it harder to recruit candidate #2 by pushing up the cost.

Venues are starting to cancel on Vivek Ramaswamy as he and other Ohio Republicans do their statewide bus tour.

Big new demographic tool from the NYT — they find that between 2020-24 in Georgia, white voters shifted one percentage point towards Democrats while Black voters shifted 5 percentage points towards Republicans: nytimes.com/interactive/2024…
“If people were getting paid enough, they would not be on the Snap program." It's quite simple.
Republicans would rather see people starve, and farmers and stores lose business.

Much more about Finer’s repeated choices to enable Israel & undermine its critics when he had power to make change in CROSSING THE RED LINE: wwnorton.com/books/978132411…
Today marks the last day people can register to vote or update their registration before the general election in MA.
We should not have such a cutoff at all.
Vote YES on 4 to bring us in line with all the states that already allow Election Day Registration.

Average red-state Democratic candidate: former Navy SEAL turned small-town pediatrician, has never once said a curse word
Average blue-state Republican candidate:

Unsurprisingly, Sen. Collins joined Clr, Flynn in calling for cancellation of today’s Southie block party, similarly mischaracterizing the host — a Southie resident — as a commercial event promoter.
It's the spooky season. And the scariest thing in MA isn't any vampire, werewolf, or zombie, and it's not found in Salem.
What is it?
Ballot Question 3, 5, and 8. Remember to vote NO on 3, 5, and 8.
So I guess it's not only his Nazi son-in-law with a history of unhinged, offensive, violent statements.

The people in the Biden admin who aided, abetted, and covered up a genocide are changing their tune, probably because they know that their past actions could endanger thier ability to serve in future Dmeocratic administrations given where the base is.

Remember when Florida Republicans paid a random guy with the same last name as the Democrat to run in a Senate race to confuse voters? Then the Democrat lost by 32 votes?
Someone went to jail for that but nobody blocked the election results.

The effect of a lot of political media is preventing people from voting for what they want and instead encouraging them to play armchair strategist
#MichiganSenate
Undecided voter in Michigan says he is voting for Mike Rogers because he doesn’t want Abdul El-Sayed to win by a lot
“I have this hope that the outcome in Michigan will be that Benson wins by eight points, El-Sayed wins by two or three, and perhaps the future of the Democratic Party won't go down the tubes the way it did for the Republicans.”
